Cold and windy on Sunday, with snow for Southern Colorado

Tonight's Forecast:
A large storm system will move into Southern Colorado tonight, with snow and unseasonably cold temperatures arriving Sunday. No snow is expected to fall overnight tonight, but by Sunday morning, there could be a few flurries or areas of drizzle that form out ahead of the main storm later in the day.

Winter Storm Warnings will go into effect for Walsenburg at 6 pm, with a Winter Weather Advisory also set to go into effect for Trinidad at 6 pm.

Extended Outlook:
Waves of snow will continue to move into Southern Colorado on Monday before the storm finally drops far enough to the south to allow the snow machine to shut off. Snow totals look to be the highest over the mountains and mountain valleys. Some higher elevation areas could easily pick up more than a foot of snow. We're also likely to see narrow bands of heavier snow from this storm, with isolated totals potentially much higher.

The other big story will be the cold air that plunges into Southern Colorado with this system. Monday's highs will mostly be in the teens, and lows Monday night will largely be in the single digits. The rest of the week looks dry, with fall-like highs for the middle of the week giving to a warm-up as we move towards the weekend.
